Coming. William Main & Co.'s
Consolidated Shows Will exhibit in
Frostburg Thursday, July IA. The
following quotation is taken from the
Houtzdale Pa.) Record:
William Main & Co.'s show on Thursday
was greeted with crowded houses, afternoon
and evening. AT the latter performance over
three hundred people were turned away, the
entrance having been closed at least twenty
minutes before the opening act For once in
our lives show has come and gone without
q single word of complaint having been ut
tered, even by the chronic GROWERS, who had
''seen it all BEFORE" and who wouldn't give
cent for the best act DONE" In fact, every
body was forced to acknowledge that they
had never seen better show, and very few as
good, especially for the low price of admission
Every performer was well up in his or her
part, and every act was perfect. The concert
after the performance is really excellent, and
far surpasses anything of the kind in connec
ton with any show we have ever seen. We
can safely say that Mains show is not only
strictly moral, but also instructive, not the
least admirable feature being that no game of
chance, nor any other outside grab game, not
even the usual sideshow or catchpenny bust
ness is allowed in or near the premises.
Ffre.-The frebell rang out about
half past 3 Monday afternoon, oc-
casioned by the discovery of fire in the
roof of the bodybuilding of the house
on Main street occupied by James
Asphalt. The prospect of a serious
fire, at one time painfully bright, was
quickly removed by the prompt action
of the few fremeu able to get to the
scene. A numper of citizens deserve
credit for intelligent, cool-headed
work. All labored under great dis
advantages, but they worked effect
lively. The explosive small boys re-
lation to the patriotic frecracker is
supposed to place the former in an
accidental sense particeps criminis to the
latter in the matter Of setting the roof
on fire. Loss by fire and water
probably 5000. Building is owned by
Conrad Senior.
